We loved this! It was as good as one of our favorite dishes at a Thai restaurant. No changes except I used lime juice (instead of zest) and I baked it instead of broiled (30 minutes at 350) - delicious!!!
Yum! This was good, but next time, I'll add more lime or peppers (or something) to give it more of a kick.
Yummy! I could almost drink this marinade. I used only one serrano chile because of my husband and 2 year old. It was still quite spicy but all three of us loved it. I am definitely going to try the marinade on shrimp and maybe tofu.
I tried this recipe with 8 thighs too. I doubled everything for the sauce except the sugar because I like gravy and so did my guests. It was GREAT. It is so easy because you can throw all the ingredients in the processor rather than chop it by hand. I was running out of time to grate the lime zest so instead a squeezed the juice from one lime into the sauce - it was really quite good. My guests and my husband RAVED about it. Also my broiler doesn't work so I baked the chicken at 350 for about 30 min. after marinating (but boiling the sauce separately as the recipe indicates).
I have to agree with the previous reviewer - the lime/cilantro sauce gets pretty nasty especially after you have simmered it for 5 mins. I managed to salvage the dish by adding some heavy cream (which unfortunately diluted the coconut flavor) and also snipping some fresh cilantro over it before serving (which Husband said made it a 4 star recipe) but I would not make this again. Thanks anyhoo.
Really good recipe. I marinated 8 boneless chicken thighs instead of just 4. Then at the end I added 1/4 cup of coconut milk and 1/4 tsp of soy sauce to the simmering sauce. I will make this again. Thanks!
This is fabulous. I modified it a little- added some scallions and a little more ginger and I used lime juice instead of zest and I used dried cilantro instead of fresh. I also added more coconut milk. It was fantastic. Tastes just like it came from a restaurant. Everyone loved it even my picky boyfriend.
This recipe is amazing! I was out of white sugar so used brown sugar. It was great. My husband thinks this is the best recipe on this site!
I am not sure if I bought the wrong kind of coconut milk but this was not good at all. I would not make it again.
